An interesting thing that happened to me was getting to have a braai with some folks from the circus. My South African friends get cross with me if I say it's like a barbecue, but that's what a braai is.
One of my coworkers at FABI is friends with the circus folks, so when they were in town, they had us all over to their camp.
Unfortunately it was dark when we arrived, so I couldn't get any photos, but I did get to pet some of the ligers. I also got to see the lioness, their mother, up close and personal, but I didn't get to pet her.
The lady ringmaster braai'ed us up some fantastic steaks, and we had fun playing a South African board game called '30 Seconds'. I was accused of cheating because I knew the capital of the Free State (it's Bloemfontein), and whose statue was in downtown Pretoria (it's Paul Kruger). I also got to drink a South African drink called polisie coffee, which is brandy and coke.
